ifter this showing of the demand for cotton
abroad and for sugr hemp iron etc, at home,
who can fairly say, tat if te slave trade, were
thrown open, the hire of negroes would dlepre
ciate below the point of payin agood intereat

l y demand now, buti demand in vain. It is also
established beyond cavil, by .aii accumulation of
-a thousand lets and experiments that our South
ern-and Western State are as well adonpted to I
and that our wines r onwdies made from the
American grape palitable as those brought
fro ere. B ough the soil, climate and
ati. grapes ere, yet the labor is wanting

.If w ad a suiciency of African labor, the
Ro , N Mbility and Gentry. of Europe would
n eh have a monopoly as they now do of all
real price of the grape. Nor would corn
-hiskey, diluted anl seasoned with logwood spi
ees, tobacco and such like-, there constitute as it
now does most of the wines which we drink.
Besides less " Pop Skull" would then be use ',
and the health of our people would be promoted
as well as the cause of temperance advanced,
ince all travellers testify that a wine producing
country has much more sobriety than a whiskey
making one. It could easily be made clear,
that half a million of Africans would pay their
owners a good hire if -they were set to making
wine at once. If it were done according to the
experiment of Messrs. McDonald.. Crawford and
otheys, probably vast trads of r r pine
land, out-of thetallest tree in w i you can
now knock a fox squirrel, with a light-wood
knot, would then become redeemed from sterility,
and the sand-lappern who can now hardly live
on huckelberries in summer and pine must in
winter,.*ould then have a chance for improving
their condition. Another view, which ought not
to go unpresented in that the older slave States
should begin right away, 'to engage in grape
culture, as offering perhaps the most lucrative
employment after cotton growing, which they
could undertake when the fertile lands of the
South West shall have monopolized the culture
of cotton, as must be the case in a few years,
whether the slave trade be re-opened or not.
North Carolina is already awaking to the im
rtance of largely cultivating her long neglected
cuppernone and Catawba. In fact the increas
itg grape efture of this country has contributed
in no small degree to bring about the present
scarcity of African labor.
But for argument's sake, let us admit that
every department of southern agriculture could
soon be over-supplied with labor, if the trade
were re-opened, would there still be left no profi
tab'e path of industry untrod among us ! How
many steamers have we for our Rivers? Or
Tesse's for our coasting and foreign tride ? How
many rail roads or factories have we ? If we
had the labor to do the grading and forge the
iron would we still be so far behind the North
and North West in railway accommodations for
our people ? Has a negro tbo little brains, or
skill to dig dirt with a spade ? The free states
have erected more rail roads and cut more ca
nals than we, only because they have had more
labor to do it with. They have constructed more
factories and diversified their industry more
from the- same cause. The demand for ore
labor with whibh-to erect and work our rail ads
is another business which can permanently em
ploy perhaps 200,000 new negroes. Brazil is at
present abnstructing a number of long railroads,
and the effect has been to almost double the
value of negroes in that thrifty Empire, within
the last five years. If wb had the negroes here,
which section would first build a Pacific Rail
road, the North or South ?
We also need about 40 000 more negroes to
manufacture Southern sait. With eve.y appli
anee for waking salt, we yet import annually in
the nei-hborhood of $2,000,000 worth. Moreover
the boiled Salt of Liverpool, whence we obtain
our supplies crystalizea very imperectly and
consequently its antiseptic properties are not
comparable to those of our solar, or evaporated
salt of the Mexican Gul. From its inferior
quality the Liverpool salt is now prohibited from
being'used in curing the Army and Navy pro
visions of the Federal Government. The meat
euring establishments of the North West anid
Lhe Fisheries of New England would also gladly
substitute our Solar for the Liverpool salt, if
they could but get it. Still we have to accept
the Liverpool article and pay higher foreiwn
freights, because we hav'e not the labor to ma e
ouf'wn salt. If the foreign salt trade were
discontinued, vessels coming hither for cotton
would compete with each other for rail road
iron as ballast instead of bringing salt, and there
by diminish freights. We have anumber of evapo
rating salt establishments on the Gulf coast,
which pay large profits, but they cannot supply
half the demand for Solar salt from the want of
labor. If the Yankees therefore would have
cbeap good salt and lower foreign freights, they
must let our Southern salt works have more A1
ricans. SCIPIO.

DEATH OP AROTEER P'ALEETTO.
It becomes our painful duty to announce the
death of Richard Watson, of this District, after
a short illness.
The deceased was a son of Mrs. Dr. J. P.
Barrett, and leaves an aged mother, two sisters,
a brother andi three little children to miourn his
loss, in connection with numerous friends and
relatives.
In 184ti when the call was made upon01 A bbe
ville D~istrict to furnish a comnpaiiy of volunteers
for the war with Mexico, Richard, and his birother
Edward, were amoru..: the first to Volunteer from
thme White 11ll1neirhlborhioodl, in Capt. Marshall's
Compatny. Durning that brilliant Caimpignm no
private in the Volunteer or regular service, dis
played more undauintless heroism and couraxge
than liiebardl Watson. Wheii Col. (hlden,
thle day before the 'storinmig of Chia.pltapee,
called iupoii eachl coiipaniy of the Palnetto Regi
iimnt to furnish one for the fo'rlorns hope, Rich
ard Watson was the fri4 man to step out, and
offered te become one of that devoted band. lIn
the storming of Chaipultapec lhe was shot down
at the baise of the fo~rt, and although severely
wounded, he still kept cheering on his comrades
to the assault. For his galIlant services, and the
woumnd he received ina the forlorn hope, he re
eived a handso~ome pensm.ion from the Gouverun
mlenit.

A FRIEND.
THE GREATNEss OF TITE UNITED STATE.
The Russian organ, published at Brussels, in
speaking of the President's desire for the acqui
sition of Cuba, ascribes to the United States a
position of some importance, as follows:
The war which might result from it would be
far more disastrous than the Crimean war, which
has cost so much gold and blood to the world.
It would be a war with a nation whose products
are the first element of industry in all parts of
the world, and whose commercial intercourse
makes an important branch of income for most
governments. It would bes violent rupture of
all the arteries of commercial circulation; it
would be a fatal separation between Europe,
which needs America, and America, which can
dispense with Europe. Take from England the
gold of Califor-nia ad the cotton of Louisiana,
and her industry will at once be stopped in its
prosperous action. We sincerely hope that such
a terrible occurrence will not take place.

elected the Major of said Battalion.
THANKS TO "C ARITY."
"Cuainy" has our thanks for the generous manner
in which he has come to our rescue against the extra
ordinary attack of "PRasnUTos" in the Southern
Baptist. Even if we had designed noticing the splene.
tic strictures of that writer, "CuAntyr" has saved us
the trouble; though, to tell the truth, we had no such
design.
But we respectfully offer a word of complaint to
the "Southern Baptiet." You publish severe com
ments upon us, without giving your readers the op
portunity of knowing what we have written to call
forth those comments. Probably you do not know
yourself what It Is. This week wo enclose in an en
velope to you, the paragraph in which we have offen
ded, and ask that you will exhibit It in your colamns.
Plesso say, when doing so, that this is the paragraph
upon which " PaEsnursaos" poured out the vial of
his wrath In your issue of the 10th instant. We wish
no better justifcation before a Christian publie.

" OLD HIOSS" ON THE SLAVE TRADE.
In publishing this singularly forcible apsi clsssis.
production, we must beg pse 'gifted authefs pardona
for havlng slipped in a few comas and periods hors

W xanas, information has been reoeivedthat In.
guage of a seditious character has been used by a
man who has been working In this neighborhood as a
Bricklayer and Plasterer, named Tnos. Buaca; and
while we claim to ourselves. to be a law-abiding peo
pie, and allow to others the privilege which we claim
to ourselves, I e. the free exprasion of op;nioa, pro.
vided such expression of opinion does not contlict
with the interests of the comuuanity generally; And
whereas, from the information received, language has
been used by the said BUnCE, whieh make; it neces
sary that measures should be taken 'to rid this eem'
munity of one capable, as we believe, of doing very
great injury among our negroes, and to put other
communities on their guard against him. Bie it
Rteaoieed, That a Committee be appointed to wait

TEE SLAVE
Proceedings of a meeaibag ofl Citizh Beeck Jlesd,
Edgefield District, South Carolilu, in relatiJon to
ans i~nportat ion of African Shares alleged g hue
been snade into that Diftrict.
On the 2nd day of February, 1859, pursuant to a
all upon the citizens of Beech Island, Edgefield Dis-.
trict, Sosath Carolina, to assemble .and express their
sopinien upon the subject of an importation of Africans
into their midst, sixteen persons met at the Club
Hoiwe'S, of whom one was a Presbyteran minister, Mr.
A xoy, from somne other sectian.
The meeting was organiaed and called to order,
and Resolutions expressive of disapp.robetioe.. were
introduced by a Cimumittee appointed for that purpose
In favor of the Resolutions were the minister above
mntioned and seroa others. Opposed to them were
five, andl three others didl not rote.
These Reusolutions so pass'ed by less thana majority
of said meeting will go forth to the world as the ex
pressiuns of feeling upon the subject entertained by
gentlemen in this vicinity, and with a view to a pro
per qualification to such proceedings, we the minority
then present and opposing whatever of censure was
contained in the series of Resolutions thus adopted,
have thought It proper to present the following Res
olutions expressive of the feelings entertained by us
upon this subject.
Resoleed lu., That we regard the Importitlon of
African Slaves into the Southern States of this con
federacy as a measure essential to the material pro
Lecu, Political power and social advancement of the
uth.
Resolred 2.1., That in eppositien to this meas
re there are no considerations of justice or hmmani-.
ty which are not equally applicable to the institution
of domestic Slavery itself.
Rlesolwed 3d., That the Laws in restriction of the
Foreign slave Trade are dictated by a false and
foreign sentiment, and are not deserving therefore of
or obedience as a Law abiding People.
Resoe ed 4th., That in the institution of domestic
Slavery are centered all our hopes and fortunes, and
as to due development of that institution there is a
necessity for an increase of slaves, we hail with pleas
u-s the announeement that F~oreign Blares have beeui
introduced.
Thsse Resolutions and this statement of thecireugs
stances which have induced us to submit them to the
public, I have made in accordance with the wishes
of the other Gentenmen who composed the minority of
that meeting.

ion of my position. It is not the Arsttime that Ig
atry damns a man because he is Christian enough to
wish to save all and love all.."who have the pirit of
C~hrist."
He says your course will "deluge our country with
blood." What, Charity deluge the country in blood I
iirabile diets I! I always thought Bigotry did that
the Bigotry which says there is no Church but ours,
o ministry but ours, no sacraments but ours, no or
thodozy but our doxy. This is the staf that perse
cates. John said "Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name but he followed not us, and we for
bade him, because he followed not us." Jesusrebukes
his bigotry by saying "Forbid him not." DQes
" Pasausnues " wish to teach you your devotilpv
the fellowing words:
Lord blest thy chesen in this place,
For here's the chosen race;
But confound all others faee,
. Ad-blat thir name,
All Churbes else are but disgrace,
And public shame.
If you will just allow me to point out the inoonsti
teney of his argument: He says there is no Church
but that which follows the "example" of that of the
New Testament. Now the Testament says that the
Church then was organised with Apostles, Prophets,
Putors, Deacons, Bishops, Deaconesses, gifts of Heal
ing, gifts of Toungesv Interpreters, Evangelists and
Presbyters. The Church having no Apostles, by his
showing is no Church.. An Apostle is- a man sent by
Christ to make, by inspired authority Scripture, and to
rowoint7 l Wich Church amongst all the
sets has this A osthip, either in fact or faney ? I
say none. The Aot being like the Testament er.
ample, there is do Church at all aecording to his
postulate.
